From the author:
Why rocks and pebbles? Well, truth be told, they chose me. I was compelled to pick them up. And once in hand, my eyes were opened, and I saw what they were saying, "Jesus Christ is our Creator, our Savior, our Joy, and our Master." At His command, the mountains move, the sick are healed, and dead come to life. Why then would I be surprised that the rocks He made want to tell His story? I marvel at how all of nature glorifies God, and I yearn to do the same. When one bucket of rocks turned into the nativity story, I knew I had to find the Easter-week story, in rocks, out there in the woods. Each hike gifted me a few rocks which transformed into the scenes of the last week of Jesus's life on Earth. I am simply the hands that moved the rocks into place, but they are the ones that endured the shaping from years of trial and experience to be chosen and given a voice. We too will be chosen, called up, and blessed because of all our experiences, mistakes, and hardships, by the only One who can. He will heal us as we remain faithful to Him, trusting in His love for us and in His timing. I hope these rocks rekindle awe for our great and loving God who knows each one of us individually, and has our healing, peace, and progress as His work and His glory.
